Studying for 2 hours a day, doing homework every day, and using fragmented time such as cooking, queuing, and waiting for the bus, Axelsen listens to Chinese podcasts to consolidate Xi. When I go out to compete, I rarely miss online teaching with my teacher.

When his wife and daughter spoke, he was next to him and interpreted in Chinese.
"I will insist on speaking Chinese to her, hoping that when she is two or three years old, she can slowly start chatting in Chinese. Axelsen said.
In 2023, during the preparation for the China Open, Anceron learned to Xi China's "specialty" - square dance, which is very down-to-earth.
